Convert XSPF to MOV

Understanding XSPF and MOV file formats

The XSPF (XML Shareable Playlist Format) is a file format used for sharing playlists. It is an XML-based format that allows users to list audio files in a specific order. XSPF files do not contain the actual audio data but rather references to the audio files.

The MOV file format is a multimedia container format developed by Apple. It is commonly used for storing video, audio, and text, such as subtitles. MOV files are widely used in video editing and playback applications.
